The sad thing is, I wanted to start a boat building business early on in Atlas .cos I enjoy building them so much. Absolutely no way I could do that now. Not with the gold price on them as well as time and resources. Also, don't be so hasty with the remark about paying for tames, it might give them ideas

Welcome to Atlas 2021 and onwards, the new improved dieselpunk and Pyrate themed petting zoo! Hey Devs, dyu need to borrow my compass? cos you seem to have lost all sense of direction.

A mixed pvp/ve server with set pvp areas would at least partially please both camps. However knowing this company, the pve players would be penalized for not wanting to blow things up, and at times probably forced to battle with other players anyway. But lets not worry though cos after all it's still in EARLY ACCESS. EARLY ACCESS, EARLY ACCESS, YYYAAAAWWWWWNNN.

The fact is they are turning Atlas into rust on water. Maybe the devs want a game filled with trash talking griefers , who knows? After all they don't exactly communicate that well ,do they?

Your original character was wiped though, were they not?

As far as I know to get your building back after a wipe in sp wouldn't be possible without dev intervention. There are cheats for ships, tames and gold etc.

The devs do need to speed progress up. It's all very well quoting early access forever, but there will come a time when Atlas is so severely dated, that the gameplay issue will be the least of it. Once the gaming industry starts to move on, Games that are struggling will just sink. And if Atlas goes mainly pvp only then they will need to make the map smaller. Or there will be players sailing around for ages looking for another player to fight. The only way from that would be to have a dedicated combat zone and a mainly pve map.But there just isnt going to be enough pve content for a lot of people.

Yeah great, till the next wipe. Then it's lets play tower watch all over again.

It's in the title.

That's what you get with a walt disney fantasy Pyrate ship, unfortunately.

I think we can eventually say goodbye to single player,as they don't seem to update it much. Also probably no pve in the future.

I used to play atlas with a family member, as far as I remember whoever hosts the session that the other joins will be able to stay on only. Because I think it is saved on the admins pc/console.

You get spies in eso pvp a lot. where people will play on 2 pc's and log in with a different faction just to find out information. I think people who go to that kind of extreme need to get a life that exists in reality. And maybe make some real friends. When they get older they will probably be the street curtain twitcher.

Atlas is still just an ark dlc, tbh in the last 2 years it hasn't really improved beyond that. They seem to take a step forward, then jump 2 steps backward each time. Dark and light is the same, and outlaws of the old west, both games I love playing, but neither of them is likely to progress past early access. Atlas needs a solid vision again. Not just making stuff up as you go along routine. It's a shame cos it can be really enjoyable to play, especially just to waste a coupla hours sailing the seas.

Yeh and I do play cross play on xbox sea of thieves with a friend on steam too.

wasn't microsoft doing something where if you buy the game on xbox you can download it automatically on your pc? the only thing I can say though is not to link it to your xbox account because if you do it will link to one account so I doubt if crossplay will be possible. As far as I know if you buy the steam version then you can play with xbox players the same.

I often wonder why players think everyone on the whole server, should lose everything they have every 6 months because some toxic player is spamming and blocking. Why cant they just block the toxic player?

Yeh a pve Pyrate game is entirely possible, especially with npc ships and crew etc. The only problem I have with Atlas pvp apart from unbalanced battles etc, is the fact that it's not a Pyrate game in pvp because all you do is fight each other, which Pyrates rarely did at all. If all they did in the golden age was kill each other no other forces would have allied up to put an end to it. Atlas is NOT a pyrate game, its a survival game with Pyrates and Pyracy in it. Oh and i'm forgetting the other great Pyraty stuff like, Flying dragons, submarines, blah blah blah etc.

I think there are some videos on yutube that might help, I do it in single player with the controller not a keyboard. You have to pause the game first.

Look people, we are talking about devs who think a bowsprit is a figurehead, and that players want ships that look like squid. so unfortunately I do not think that sailing realism is too high on their agenda. Atlas is not a garbage game, yeh it uses early access like a serial killer uses childhood neglect, an excuse for everything. And it deffo needs some direction. But it still has potential, even at this late stage. As for the pre fab route, I agree this is a very wrong turn as there are games that do it much better. Also the more pre fabbed the game gets,the less reason there is to keep playing it. Once you've krakened the game the only thing left to do is attack each other, Which would be ok if the fighting was decently balanced. And adding gold to buy ships after saying they want everyone at sea as fast as possible doesn't make sense at all. I doubt if Atlas will win any innovation awards, But I still say it has potential.

It should work, it works in other games for me. As long as you have the xbox gamer tag saved on xbox for windows, then the xbox player adds you as friend, they should be able to invite you into the game.

In POTC When Davy Jones loses, Will becomes Captain of the Flying Dutchman because the ship can't sail without a Captain. But also he has to give his heart for the job. For Atlas to grow and succeed the Captain needs to have his heart in it. The Atlas ship needs a Captain.

Sorry for getting you wrong there chuck. And yeh they have made a lotta changes for pvp.  I'll be honest though I think SOT has the edge if you just want a raging sea battle.

I've said in previous posts that i'd settle for less customization if it meant more realistic Pyrate ships. Sadly that doesn't seem to be the case. We seem to be getting disney kids Pyrate ships instead. Even potc had realistic ships and that was disney. In sea of thieves there are only 3 types of ship, and you get it back whenever you sink. But they do look like ships at least. and they do have furnished interiors so they are not like floating boxes, unlike atlas ships. I think in some ways early access can harm the direction of a game, because a dev may have a vision that gets waylaid due to player comments. It's glaringly obvious that the Atlas teem needs to hire a good leader with a fixed vision.

How ironic chuck that you only state facts not opinions and then add the phrase, (no one cares about pve) . But don't worry it's ok to be wrong eh?
